East Midlands Railway extreme increases
I travel to London from Corby once a week for work. Previously, I'd pay £34 for the advance return ticket, leaving at 6:11, and return journey at 16:17, this went up to £37 after the 1 March increase, fair enough. Then after Easter, it suddenly jumped to £75, or even £91 if I look at tickets 12 weeks away. I've contacted…

Problem with Railcards bought from The Train Line
When I recently renewed our Railcards for 3 years, I happened to use The Train Line (hoping to use a discount code, which didn't work). Having then used the clunky process of linking them to our Thameslink keyGo Smartcards (which had worked perfectly well with the old Railcards), I found that our first journeys using the…

GWR Online Refund System - What is an End Date?
Hi All, This may be a silly question, but what is an 'end date'? I'm using GWR's online refund system to request e-vouchers for unused Advance tickets (I have Covid) & I do not know what date to put in.

Days out - cycle parking
Summer is around the corner (let's hope!), and as I've taken up cycling again, I'm dreaming of days out. But one problem I'm finding is that while places I might want to go to have large, maintained, car parks, and even coach parks, there seems to be a distinct lack of cycle parking. I'm not talking about town centres, but…

I have a 1-year-old and a very nearly 4-year-old. Currently, I have a Hamax seat on the bike, which either…
